Good for you Nan !

hurshy

every other game they have, when you finish, one of the pop-up box choices is to see all the other games. but not when you finish wordle. it's annoying.

9:40 am

hokie carla

yeah, it only recommends the bee. but you do have a drop down menu on the left.

9:41 am

hurshy

i know but it's one extra unnecessary click, every day. it's like chinese water torture

9:42 am

3:25 pm

Soodle

Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson. The plot is almost non existant. Two former friends who fall out of friendship. Sounds dull & boring, but Martin McDonagh,the producer, brings this to life in an incredible way. The fabulous scenery of the west coast of Ireland helps. If you get a chance, watch this movie.
